What Is Ada?
What Is Ada?• An internationally standardized language designed for
large-scale, long-lived real-time / embedded applications where reliability is critical
Originally designed by a team led by Jean Ichbiah in the early 1980’s Ada 83
• Pascal + packages + exceptions + tasking + genericsRevised by a team led by S. Tucker Taft in the early 1990’s Ada 95
• Ada 83 + OOP + child libraries + protected objects• Also: generalized “pointers”, richer API interfacing,
“Specialized Needs” annexesRevision Process started for ~2005 Ada 05 | Ada 0X
Ada is a Language for Building Industrial Strength Systems

What Is the ACM?
What Is ACM?• Association for Computing Machinery• World’s oldest and largest scientific computing society• A major force in advancing the skills and knowledge of
Information Technology professionals since 1947• Has approximately 75,000 members worldwide• Valuable resource for rapidly changing IT field• Approximately 30 Special Interest Groups
SIGs in General • Keep you up to date with the latest technical
developments• Provide focused resources and forums for discussion• Help you network with colleagues outside your immediate
workshop

Common Characteristics of Ada Applications
• Reliability is a real concern
• Control safety or mission critical applications• Control hard real-time or near real-time application
• Reliability is a real concern• Control highly distributed systems
• Control systems with multiple interfaces
• Reliability is a real concern
Achieved via a sound systems engineering approach
With the Ada Language as a Key Technology

Future of Ada - Optimistic on Ada
Ongoing requirements for languages that support industrial strength engineering solutions
Ada language meets the requirements that it was originally designed to satisfy
• Large-scale, long-lived, high-integrity real-time embedded applications
Ada survived the period when it was most at risk• 1997-98, after the closing of the AJPO• Ada usage appears on the rise• Ada is expanding into new domains
Technology is mature
I’m Upbeat on AdaAda Really Works
